About this ebook
“The most authoritative tome out there on Heart, the biggest female-led hard rock band of all time” from the award-winning music biographer (Vintage Rock).
With more Top 10 hits than any other female-fronted music group in history, beginning with such ’70s classics as “Crazy on You,” “Barracuda,” “Magic Man,” and “Straight On,” Rolling Stone hailed Heart’s “sister team of Nancy and Ann Wilson . . . [for] shrewdly pulling off a Led Zep role reversal,” while still succeeding in mainstream Top 40 Radio. The band rode a second wave of even greater commercial success throughout the 1980s, producing such smash hits as “These Dreams,” “Who You Gonna Run To?”, “Alone,” “Never,” “Stranded,” “There’s the Girl,” “What About Love?”, and “All I Wanna Do (Is Make Love to You),” going on to sell a cumulative 30+ million albums worldwide!
Now, for the first time, inside the pages of Heart: In the Studio, fans get V.I.P. access behind the scenes of the writing and recording of all of Heart’s hit albums and smash singles! This title features exclusive interviews with band leaders Ann and Nancy Wilson, longtime guitarist Howard Leese, as well as with producers Mike Flicker, Ron Nevison, Keith Olsen, and Ritchie Zito. This study of Heart’s hit-making process in the studio is the first of its kind, and sure to be a must-have for any Heart fan!
“Valuable insight into Heart’s recordings . . . unusually informative.” —The Columbus Dispatch
“Crammed with tons of previously unseen images . . . lends a greater understanding of the inner workings of a successful rock & roll outfit.” —FMQB

Filled with inaccuracies and exhibiting sloppy journalism. A lacklustre affair without any real depth or insight. For die-hard heart fans only. A couple of tidbits justify the cover price, but I'm looking forward to the definitive biography from Charles R. Cross to be released later this year.
